A New Day is now the title track to the WWE's newest soundtrack, featuring songs from Story of the Year and Adelitas Way.
Adelitas Way released their first full-length debut album on Capitol/Virgin Records on July 14th, 2009. It garnered rave reviews from Tunelab and other music blogs, and sold over 2,000 copies in its first week. The album debuted at #16 on Billboard's 'Heat Seekers' chart, which features up and coming artists.
Invincible peaked at number four on Active Rock Radio charts and the album has sold over 12,000 copies to date.. Recent tours with the likes of Shinedown, Sick Puppies, Cavo, Breaking Benjamin, 10 Years, and Hurt have gained the band thousands of new fans.
Invincible is also featured on the new Smackdown v. Raw 2010 video game which is in stores now.
The band's new single, Last Stand, is set to hit rock radio on February 2nd. The video was filmed at the end of January in LA and features a storyline focusing mainly on lead singer Rick Dejesus. It should be released by the end of February.
Founding member and lead guitarist Chris Iorio left the band at the end of 2009. No reasons have been given for his departure, but he has been replaced by former The Leo Project guitarist Creighton Bibbs. Bibbs was replaced in 2011 by Robert Zakaryan.
Adelitas Way got their name from a very unorthodox source. While on tour on the west coast, their van was pulled over and eventually raided and thieved by corrupt Mexican cops who took all the money the band had, except for the few dollars Rick stashed in his boot. Disoriented and shaken from the experience, the band headed to the first bar they could find to calm themselves down. It was the Adelita Bar. After spending some time in there, the guys realized that it wasn't just a bar, it was a brothel. Rick ended up talking to one of the girls who worked there and asked her how she could live like she was day in and day out. She explained that it was the only way she knew to support her family in need. Talking to her helped change Rick's outlook on life and people, and thus the 'way' she lived became the inspiration for the name.

Good Enough
Adelitas Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've taken me down this road before
Something's missing
Too many times you've let me know
I am trying to make it the way it used to be
Back when all you said that you'd need was the best of me
If I gave you the ocean
But if I gave you that sunlight
You would say it's not what you want
And I give, and I give, and I give
But I don't give up
There was a time
When my best was good enough
Sometimes I wish I could walk away and not think twice
I can't get past the thought of you in someone else's life
Can I keep you if I try?
Can I make it right?
If I gave you the ocean
You would ask for the sun
But if I gave you that sunlight
You would say it's not what you want
And I give, and I give, and I give
But I don't give up
There was a time
When my best was good enough
Can I keep you if I try?
Can I make it right?
If I gave you the ocean
You would ask for the sun
But if I gave you that sunlight
You would say it's not what you want
And I give, and I give, and I give
But I don't give up
There was a time
When my best was good enough
There was a time
When my best was good enough
There was a time
When my best was good enough
The lyrics to Adelitas Way's song "Good Enough" tell a story about a person who is trying to make a relationship work, but feels like they can never do enough to satisfy their partner. The singer knows what's coming and has been down this road before. They feel like something is missing and their partner has let them know too many times. The singer is trying to do everything they can to make things the way they used to be, when all their partner said they needed was the best of them. However, no matter what the singer gives, it seems like it's never enough.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of the singer giving everything they have, but their partner always wanting more. They describe the feeling of constantly giving, but not giving up, and how there was a time when their best was good enough. The bridge of the song expresses the singer's fear of losing their partner to someone else and their desperation to try to make things right. They ask if they can keep their partner if they try and make it right.
Overall, the song explores the theme of trying to make a relationship work, but feeling like it's never enough. The singer is desperate to hold onto their partner and make them happy, but feels like no matter what they do, it's not enough.
